I will be thinking of all of you (especially Travis, Mary-Catherine, Ann Marie) as you give your Father the ultimate tribute and send off. I bet he's picking pomegranates right now while telling stories in Heaven.

Marilyn, Mary Catherine and family, please accept my deepest condolences in the passing of your husband and father. Mike and he shared a special bond and I hope they are sharing stories in Heaven! I remember him vividly from the Throttlebottom shows. He was a good man and will surely be missed.
